Solution
Populations segregated by a geographic barrier are known as allopatric populations.
Explanation:
Allopatric populations are groups of the same species that are geographically separated by physical barriers such as mountains, rivers, or distances. This geographic isolation restricts gene flow between them and can lead to speciation due to independent evolutionary changes in each population.
